The Blue Rose - Episode One
Television (Excerpts) – 2013
A good girl temp, a bolshy friend, an IT geek and an ex-accountant get together to form an amateur sleuthing club in downtown Auckland.– New Zealand Herald reviewer Lydia Jenkin, 11 April 2013
More than just entertaining, the writing here is efficient, quickly getting to know the main characters Jane and Linda (as well as lawyer Simon, played well, albeit subtly, by Matt Minto), while putting in the foundations for a great story as the season goes on. Director Mark Beesley has done a great job with the script, taking the implication in the writing and realising it as a taut thriller, full of suspense…– Stuff reviewer Chris Philpott, 2013
